Angie Owens (Seaford, Del./Seaford) turned in a double-double for the Wolverines with 18 points and 11 rebounds.  The junior hit 6-of-10 field goals, a pair of threes, blocked two shots and added a steal and an assist in the contest.

The Wolverines (2-2, 0-1 CAC) trailed just 42-35 after back-to-back buckets by Owens with 7:08 to play.  The Eagles (4-1, 1-0 CAC), however, grabbed a pair of offensive rebounds on their next possession before a basket by Carol Dye started the game-breaking run.

The Wolverines turned in a strong defensive effort, limiting the Eagles to just 33 percent shooting and 22 percent from three point range and outrebounding them 39-33.  Wesley was undone, however, by 33 turnovers, while Mary Washington committed just 10 miscues on the night.
